Percentage Near Miss Reports
• Review of our fatal accident history and significant incidents identified key areas of
risk to our people, which require specific controls to eliminate the incidents that
could cause fatalities
• Fatal Risk Control Protocols (FRCPs) to deal with these risk areas were developed
through workgroups made up of individuals from across the Company, with extensive
experience in our operations
• The FRCPs apply:
– at all BHP Billiton controlled sites and
controlled activities
– to all employees, contractors and visitors when
involved in controlled activities
• Each FRCP is classified into three board focus areas,
detailing the essential controls that are to be in
place to manage the risk:
– Plant and equipment requirements
– Procedural requirements
– People requirements

Zero Barrier Incidents
Zero Barrier Alerts
What is a Zero Barrier Incident
These incidents reflect high
awareness and mature reporting
culture
A Zero Barrier incident is an incident where no key
barriers or defences remained to prevent an actual
Significant Outcome.
These incidents reflect a serious
breakdown in preventative systems
They represent "close call” incidents where:
• All the key barriers and defences have been
breached, our systems and behaviours have failed
Zero Barrier
Incident
• An event has occurred usually involving the
release of uncontrolled energy
• It is only by chance that a more severe outcome
did not eventuate.
